As it has done my blogger-friend from the neighborhood in his post on the events surrounding the commemoration of the destruction of Dresden 66 years ago exactly the shot sarcasm to the wort in the increasingly still controversial topic of "Dresden on 13 February 1945" to strengthen. Well, the problem is forever young in the mediation of historical events as before, that there are two sides of a review.
So here.
The right side says: "The bombing was a war crime."
(! That's right) The left side
argues: "The bombing was pointless, but was provoked by the Hitler-pack because the surrender of Germany is not is.
(probably true, but the destruction of the city can not justify)

What is strewn everywhere as a bit of truth is precisely the finding that there was no defense industry in Dresden and also no longer a strategically important buildings and installations.
to it, is because even after 66 years the question: "Why?"

one hand, it could have been an act of revenge for the equally senseless bombing of cities in England. On the other hand, Germany was already in ruins; instigated the war was lost long ago, yet explains the capitulation was only three months later. The senseless killing, dying because of people went so long just continue.

Many decades later apologized for the Allied bombing of Dresden by the German government formally. Nevertheless
should deceive the official commemoration of that day do not hide the fact that it was the leadership of Nazi Germany, which broke the World War II from the fence. Who - as the intellectual amoebas from the radical right to national-conservative environment - like every year again to bend the story so that should be reminded of the event only under the aspect of a war crime, on the other hand, the crimes of the Germans into perspective, has for that reason alone lost legitimacy at all in the bombing remember 66 years ago to be allowed.

also the recurrent argument that finally must be an end to the reference is to blame Germany for the Second Economic Committee is not only simple but also completely wrong. Who wants to point to Allied war Greul must also indicate the concentration camps, ie murderer in the German army and the crimes committed against foreign civilians.

The war that went out from German soil, was from the outset in crimes of all German, who took an active part in this part. It was not just the murderers in uniform, the fanatics in civilian clothes, it was above all the former economic elite, the bank leadership that Industrialists, such as Krupp, Thyssen, or the mass murderers in the executive suites at IG Farben, who sponsored the screamer from Austria, who came by only to power.

that in the end it will have been none, is innate to man. But that after 66 years it still, above all, among the mentally deranged from the vintages are 1945 plus people whose view is not very wise, makes me every year on 13 February thoughtfully over.
